On July 15, 1977, Drunken Boxing officially landed in Xiangjiang Cinema.

Xu Yaxin fanned the fan while nibbling on ice cream and said, "Why haven't you opened the door yet! ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "Wait a minute, you have to come so early, I told you to come later!"

Xu Yaxin shouted sadly: "How did I know that there would be so many people! I thought I could blow the air conditioner in the ticket hall." ”

Of course, it is impossible for the ticket hall of a cinema to stand under all the moviegoers, especially in the streets of Xiangjiang, where every inch of land is at a premium, a group of people who are ready to watch movies at night can only stay outside and wait slowly.

Xu Zhi took a bite of ice cream and said, "So, if you don't listen to the old man, you'll suffer in front of you!"

"Cut. Xu Yaxin was very disdainful, and after eating the last bite of ice cream, she said, "I'm done eating, let's buy another one!"

Xu Zhi smiled: "Yes, I also want to eat again, but only I can eat it, you can't." ”

Xu Yaxin hurriedly said, "Why?"

"No reason, you're a woman, and you'll get cold if you eat too much. ”

"I just want to be cold on this hot day!"

"No, look, it's open!" Xu Zhi pointed to the crowd in front of him, everyone was slowly moving forward, and the door in front of him had already opened.

Seeing that she was finally able to enter the theater, Xu Yaxin was not entangled in the question of ice cream, and hurriedly asked Xu Zhi: "Where is our seat, we will find it together later." ”

Xu Zhi smiled: "No, I know where it is." ”

Unlike the multiplex model of the 21st century, the current cinema is very simple, with only one hall, and the seats are almost invisible from east to west from south to north.

Or rather: it's all heads.

A big theater, one or two thousand seats, a movie ticket is about 10 Hong Kong dollars, even if half of the full seating rate, a movie can sell 10,000 Hong Kong dollars at the box office, once the movie becomes popular and the theater is full, it is simply a money printing machine that lies down to make money.

And the fundamental reason why Xiangjiang's movies have not become the multiplex model of later generations or current Hollywood is that there are too few Xiangjiang movies.

In 77 years, Xiangjiang shot a total of 500 movies, but most of them are small-cost restricted films, this kind of movies can only go to some small theaters with hundreds of seats to play, and Golden Harvest's cinemas are naturally selective, without a certain ability, and they can't enter here, so this also causes not many movies every period of time, not to mention that the cinema chain and the film company have a close relationship, Golden Harvest will not allow its two films to have internal friction, so even if there is competition, it is also the competition of different cinemas at the same time.

In the 80s, movies were in full bloom, and it stands to reason that movie theaters can actually be reformed and a multi-hall model can be formed, but under the pressure of the mountain of monopoly, progress is impossible. In fact, although there are many reasons for the decline of movies since the 90s, the forced monopoly inaction of the theater chain also has a certain relationship.

Soon, Xu Zhi pulled his sister to the first row of seats on the second floor, Xu Yaxin was surprised: "You actually bought this seat, I heard that this seat is ten times the general price!"

Xu Zhi smiled: "Of course, I invite you to watch, of course you have to watch the best." ”

Xu Yaxin said in a low voice: "I want to tell my parents that you spend money indiscriminately, unless you ......"

Xu Zhi took over and said, "Unless I buy you a bicycle?"

Xu Yaxin nodded and smiled like a chicken: "Yes, it's good to be sneaky, you told your parents that this bike was only bought for a hundred yuan, and they won't say anything." ”

Xu Zhi smiled and said, "Yes, no problem, where did you copy your book?"

Xu Yaxin suddenly said with a bitter face: "Dazhi, it's too difficult to copy, my hands are almost useless in the past few days, and it's less than 50,000 words!"

Xu Zhi smiled: "Then how do you think my novel was written? I came out by myself while I was talking?"

Xu Yaxin snorted, raised her mouth, and ignored Xu Zhi.

Xu Zhi saw that she didn't want to speak, so he looked at the entire theater, at this moment, there were almost no vacant seats left, and the publicity expenses he spent more than 200,000 yuan finally had an effect.

In the past few years, many products are advertised more than the cost of manufacturing, and he used to be very unintelligible, thinking that the business was too black-hearted, but now he empathizes and understands that there is no fame, no matter how good it is, it is useful!

In the midst of the noise, the screen lit up, everyone had already found their seats, and when they saw that the movie was about to start, they all fell silent.

The screen flashed, but it was not a movie program, but an advertisement for several properties and decoration companies, Xu Zhi couldn't help but smile, there are smart people in any era, as long as it is to make money, they will not let go of any time and place.

Soon, the screen went dark, and the four big words "Changxing Culture" were displayed on the big screen, followed by a group of names: director, screenwriter, martial arts instructor, producer, starring, photography, etc.

Xu Zhi's name is not on it, and before it is really successful, it is better to keep a low profile.

But in fact, it is too much consideration, no matter what era, who directs the movie, the audience will not care about any of the names on it, play with the mobile phone when there is a mobile phone, and chat when there is not.

The music sounded, the plot began in a town similar to ancient times, the first plot was that Chen Long and some martial arts apprentices teased the master who liked to shoot horses, only a few minutes, and the laughter in it had already made the audience turn their backs, and laughter broke out in the theater.

The movie continued, and soon, Chen Long indirectly teased the beautiful girl on the side of the road on the grounds of touching porcelain, but was discovered by the girl's mother in the distance, so the two quickly fought.

Xu Yaxin said while eating popcorn: "He deserves to be killed!"

Seeing a woman being molested and eating tofu, Xu Yaxin was of course angry, but this movie of Drunken Boxing is definitely not a simple comedy, although the plot is a bit funny, but the real laugh is Chen Long's fight, although a small number of female viewers don't like "scumbag Chen", but they were still conquered by Chen Long's comedy fighting mode, let go of the lady image, and laughed.

The next plot is still full of jokes, and the first half of the movie is actually about a second-generation young master who is lazy and slippery, doesn't want to practice martial arts, doesn't love all kinds of rules, and likes to be a rebellious character for his family.

It wasn't until Chen Long met a cold-blooded killer in the barren mountains that he was beaten up because of a trivial matter, which changed the plot and made Chen Long in the play mature.

In particular, Xu Zhi added a paragraph: I don't kill you not because I don't dare or because you are pitiful, but because I am a killer and no one spends money to buy your life, so you are not worthy of letting me kill.

But even with some sad clips, the audience's depression was soon covered by follow-up laughter, until Chen Long was trained by Shi Bola, and walked out of the horizontal bar space step and continuous salmon ladder, the audience was amazed, almost all the men's eyes were straight, they couldn't understand how strong the muscles on the arms were when there was still this kind of training, and they could make this kind of action.

These two sets of actions brought no more impact to everyone than the former Bruce Lee, and Xu Yaxin was even more surprised: "Dazhi, can you make this kind of action." ”

Xu Zhi flipped through the silver: "I'm a weak scholar, how barbaric you are to me!"

Xu Yaxin said: "Why don't you sign up to be a policeman? ”

Xu Zhidao: "What am I doing as a policeman, I can't make any money." ”

Xu Yaxin said: "Stupid! You go to train for half a year, and then resign! This will be a lot stronger, I have a classmate whose brother is like this, his body is much stronger, but he also became a policeman in the end." ”

Xu Zhidao: "If you want to go, I won't go." ”

Too lazy to pay attention to this sister with too big a brain, Xu Zhi continued to watch the movie, as the follow-up plot unfolded, Chen Long's signature fighting actions caused many viewers to laugh and hold their stomachs, and tears almost flowed out.

At this moment, many people are already laughing out of strength, and the film has reached the final climax, Chen Long used his drunken punches, and the killer was embarrassed, but the audience also earned enough laughs.

Even outside the movie theater, the occasional hilarious joy can be heard, and when the film finally ends, many viewers laugh weakly and slowly walk out with the back of the chair.

Xu Zhi couldn't help but spy secretly: In the era of Douyin, people's laughter is really low.
